So my bestie (i.e. best friend, i.e. not my girlfriend), Elizabeth, wanted me to pose this question to the fine folks here at CD.com and, as always, I'll be prefacing this with a story before I ask it.
You see, Alex (aka boy mode me) and Lexi... as I consider it... are two different people. They each have their own Facebook accounts, they're own hobbies, fashion, motivations, and ways of communicating. They're different enough that, even though I describe them as twins, they're very distinct from one another. The only thing that ties them together is that they share the same body and ideals.
Yesterday, Elizabeth and I were to meet at her aunt's house and, from there, go shopping for my outfits for this weekend. As dictated, I had to be Lexi in order to ensure that the outfits fit. Now, her aunt has met Alex before and, because of this, Elizabeth introduced me to one of her relatives as Lexi but didn't introduce me to the rest of the people present.
After we left her aunt's house, Elizabeth said that she didn't feel comfortable introducing me to her family again since they've already met me as Alex. She doesn't ever want to lie to her family, for fear of karma, so she's trying to avoid coming out and lying on my behalf. So in a sense, this lie has become a question of morality.
Keep in mind, that she's okay with introducing me to people I've never met before. She only has an issue with re-introducing me to people who have already met one side of me.
So the question I'd like to pose to you all is how should she approach this? Is she making too much of a big deal out of this? Should she respect my wishes in lieu of her own moral code? Or should she out me to everybody she meets without my consent? Of course, the answers can be more than the ones I proposed, but we're curious to hear your answers.
Thanks in advance!
